Abstract

See full text

Inspection and monitoring system consists of a measuring unit fixedly installed in the cable railway, a storage and transmission unit operatively connected to the latter for the storage and communication of the measurement data, and an assessment unit connected to the latter via Ethernet or some comparable network in order to assess and visualize the measurement data in a remote monitoring station away from the cable railway from which the inspection process is initiated automatically according to a set program. Assessment of the inspection results in the remote monitoring station also takes place automatically by means of a pre-specified program. The station can be in operation around the clock and can also monitor a number of cable railways a long way away at the same time. It works reliably without staff interaction and enables precise management of the cable in view of its optimal life span.
